The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Internal Civil War Raging (Not Raging)?

by Smitty The visible kulturkampf is undeniable. The Left seeks to continue to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a single “managed liberty” State, with Lefty pencil-necks guiding us. I get that. As Mueller’s Folly winds down, we’re learning that the shenanigans may not have started with the Trump campaign: The Obama Administration […]

The Parental Trump

by Smitty I wear my conscience on my sleeve. When made sincerely aware of offense given, fixing the problem now, Now, NOW! is an imperative to me. As a child, Dad would send me to my room to stew over my indiscretion for a while, prior to summoning me for discipline. As a father, I […]

Get Stuffed, Senior Chief @MalcolmNance

by Smitty I spent some time on Twitter today doing something wildly unusual for me: defending Senator John McCain over the (as yet unproven) allegation that McCain caused the USS Forrestal disaster. I’m no fan of the old war horse, and wish he’d retired a couple decades back. Yet, Senior Chief, your sanctimonious denunciation of […]

The Profound Sadness of Christine Emba

Outtakes From A Leadership Book By Some Guy Whom Troops Would Only Follow Out Of Morbid Curiosity

by Smitty And I looked at the top of Trump's head, and it snarled at me.The Tribble. I had to stop it.Nobody but me, with my innate xenobiological sense, could even detect the heinous alien menace that had possessed this otherwise quotidian buffoon. — I Came; I Saw; I Got Over Macho Grande (@smitty_one_each) April […]

Poor Wee Paul Ryan

by Smitty So the Speaker is ejecting. Along with guys like Trey Gowdy. Podhoretz is a doom-peddler, all emphasis mine: John Boehner, his predecessor, quit rather than suffer through a challenge from the bomb throwers in the Republican House conference. There’s no precedent for this in American history. The Speakership has been one of the […]

It’s Not Over ‘Til He Pops The Question

The Other Podcast: Episode 4

John Hoge of Hogewash and I launched a podcast last month during CPAC, but the planned second and third episodes were marred by technical difficulties. Saturday night, however, everything worked and we had a wide-ranging hour-long discussion that included three call-ins from listeners.   We plan to make this podcast a weekly event. Your financial […]
